Cold and Desolate – No Fuel for Warmth
It seems to me that Progressives are not all that smart because the end result of their endeavors will be futile. The short term benefits from all their efforts will end and all they touch will be depressed, desolate and chaotic. The most ignorant and feeble minded of all people can understand that if you remove the fuel the fire will no longer exist.
History is full of examples! Many once thriving countries in Africa are now the poorest of nations. Why? Because the greed of power mongers overtook them and changed the rules in those countries from freedom to tyranny. Their infrastructure fell apart and chaos enveloped them. The Soviet Union is another example. It should be evident that in order to build a good warm fire you need fuel. Destroy the fuel and there is no more fire.
The USA is a great example of this phenomenon taking place now. The progressives of one hundred years ago (1913) created the Federal Reserve (The Federal Reserve Act), income tax (16th Amendment) and limiting the power of people in America who were the producers (17th Amendment). Now, a large portion of the producers in America have moved away. The ones who remain can’t find workers to do the work. Fewer people work. Everyday there are fewer and fewer workers that pay unlawful taxes to the power mongers of the 20th & the 21st Centuries. And to make matters worse, there are more and more who are paid by government assistance. These people will remain on the dole, because those same power mongers pay them for their votes. Soon there will be no more fuel for the fire. All will be chaos, depression and desolation. A cold and desolate place in the middle of a long cold winter – - – not good! Read history, there is nothing new under the sun.

An example I use as to how socialism works.
Lets suppose you have a socialist teacher. She gives a test over the material they have been studying. Johnny does quite well and scores a 90%. 70% is passing. Billy is lazy and doesn’t study, which earns him a 50%. The teacher can’t stand to see Billy fail, so she takes 20 points from Johnny and gives them to Billy. Johnny is very upset and yells foul, but to no avail. Next test Johnny is quite de-motivated and says “no use making any better than 70%, just to have it taken away.” So Johnny scores a 70%. Billy also has not been motivated to do any better either, so he does even less, figuring that the teacher will come up with the points to pass him. Billy scores a 30%. Now the teacher has a problem. The average has dropped from 70% to 50%. That is what re-distributing the wealth does.
Wayne, your right on.
